“This is Lynne the poet, unflinchingly honest, reflecting, balancing the wide-open joy in performances of standards, from the retro swing of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” to the seasonally and romantically teemed “Silver Bells” and “White Christmas,” which make the case that the holiday is not necessarily a joyous one for some. As Christmas albums go, this one is showcase for Lynne’s gifts as an interpretive singer and songwriter.” –All Music Guide
